Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to deliver a better and more personalized browsing experience.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties such as advertisers, analytics providers, or social media platforms (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies may be stored temporarily for the duration of your browser session ("session cookies") or may remain on your device for a longer period ("persistent cookies").

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and tracking scripts. This Cookie Policy covers all such technologies collectively.

2. How We Use Cookies

Wing Snob uses cookies for a variety of purposes related to operating and improving our website and services. Specifically, cookies help us to:

  • Ensure the technical functionality and security of our website.
  • Remember your preferences and settings so you don't have to re-enter them each visit.
  • Understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
  • Deliver relevant advertisements and promotional content based on your browsing behavior.
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
  • Provide integrations with social media platforms.
  • Improve our menu offerings, online ordering features, and overall user experience.

As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection and fair business practices.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on fry-wingsnob.click into four main types:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also referred to as strictly necessary cookies) are required for the core functionality of our website. Without these cookies, certain features — such as secure login, shopping cart functionality, or page navigation — would not work properly. Because they are strictly necessary for the website to function, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. However, you may configure your browser to block them, though this may affect your ability to use certain parts of our site.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors navigate through the site, and whether they encounter any errors. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance effectively.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages. These cookies may remember your language preferences, your location for delivery purposes, or your past interactions with our online ordering system. If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising and targeting cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are typically placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers. This means that after browsing our website, you may see advertisements for Wing Snob on other websites or social media platforms.
